How do I move in zero gravity without a mech?

Hi! Before The 1.3 update, I built a base in an asteroid cluster somewhere. It has more than twenty tenants, and I like it.

The problem is: Now that there is zero gravity in asteroid belts (as it should be), I can't move around in the base anymore. Sure, I could fly there, deploy my Mech and move around, but I would be unable to enter the base.

Is there a way to control my movement in zero gravity without a mech? Or is it possible to create a local artificial gravity somehow? I would not like to lose this base just because I'm stuck at the teleporter.

 

The Grappling Hook is a good start... I guess...

 

Hmm... Good idea. I rarely use it, so I totally forgot, but it will probably work. Thanks.

 

Np. And also... How do you NOT use the grappling hook?! It's one of the best things ever!

 

...because every time I grapple something a monster attacks me, I have to switch to a weapon and fall down. I mostly use the triple jump to get where I want.

 

I mostly go with Wall Jump and Grapple. If something attacks me mid grapple I just cling to the nearest wall and shoot the hell out of it.

 

-spear with flight ability

-relocator (not the thing for the animals etc., the other one)

-cars and boats, but only for flying from right to left etc. not up a. down (as far as i know and tested)

-in asteroid fields- getting attacked by monsters (yes i know ...)

-teleport up to your ship and start with mech again

 

The easiest way for me to move in Zero G is Necrolix Nimbusimpaler, i recommend any weapon thhat pushes you back. i use it like a jet pack

 

Not to bump an old thread or promote my own work through another channel... but with regards to the title of this Forum about moving in zero g without a mech... My Jetpack mod has a specialised back.item that allows the user free movement in space without a mech. I hope it provides solution to the problem. If you would like the lua script I use for the jetpack item, turns out it's fairly straightforward.

Code:

function init()
  self.movementParameters = config.getParameter("zeroGMovementParameters", {})
end

function update(dt)
  mcontroller.controlParameters(self.movementParameters)

  if not mcontroller.groundMovement() and not status.resourceLocked("energy") then
    mcontroller.controlModifiers({ speedModifier = 1.5 })
  end

  if mcontroller.flying() and world.gravity(mcontroller.position()) < 0.1 then
    if mcontroller.yVelocity() > 0.1 then
      mcontroller.setYVelocity(10)
    end
    if mcontroller.yVelocity() < -0.1 then
      mcontroller.setYVelocity(-10)
    end
  
  elseif world.gravity(mcontroller.position()) < 0.1 then
    mcontroller.controlApproachXVelocity(0, 200)
    mcontroller.controlApproachYVelocity(0, 200)
  end

  if mcontroller.flying() and world.gravity(mcontroller.position()) < 0.1 then
    if mcontroller.xVelocity() > 0.1 then
      mcontroller.setXVelocity(10)  
    end
    if mcontroller.xVelocity() < -0.1 then
      mcontroller.setXVelocity(-10)  
    end  
  elseif world.gravity(mcontroller.position()) < 0.1 then
    mcontroller.setXVelocity(0)
    --mcontroller.controlApproachYVelocity(0, 200)
  end

end

function uninit()

end

What The Script Looks like in Action...

 

If you can find the drill spear just point it toward the area you want to go and use the alt ability. I also want to mention that it is a weapon and it attacks with the ability as well so you can just kill monsters while zooming into them.

 

You can "swim" a direction. It takes 500 years, but if i'm not wrong it should work.

 

well u can also get a rocket spear
in zero gravity, it will work very well, unlike when ur on a planet
